For 105 years, Times Square has been the center of worldwide attention on New Year's Eve, ever since the owners of One Times Square began in 1904 to conduct rooftop celebrations to greet the New Year. The first Ball Lowering celebration occurred in 1907, and this tradition is now a universal symbol of welcoming the New Year. Watch this year's ball drop and a six-and-a-half-hour broadcast of the Times Square New Year’s Eve Celebration live online, starting at 6pm local time!
